Totti up to 2nd in Serie A all-time goal-scoring

Francesco Totti has set his sights on becoming Serie A's all-time leading goalscorer after moving up to second on the list.

The Roma legend netted his 226th top-flight goal in a 2-0 win over Parma yesterday to go ahead of Gunnar Nordahl, who had spells at AC Milan and Roma.



Only Silvio Piola, who scored most of his 274 goals for Roma's bitter rivals Lazio, is above him, 48 in front.



"Now my goal is to exceed Piola," the 36-year-old said on www.gazzetta.it.



The victory moved Roma level on points with fifth-placed Inter Milan and boost hopes of European qualification.



"I'm happy with the win," Totti added. "I think it was the wonderful evening we all wanted. We were so many points behind Inter, now we are level on points."



Roma boss Aurelio Andreazzoli, appointed until the end of the season following the departure last month of Zdenek Zeman, praised Totti's influence.



"Totti? It's always much easier with him around, he makes difficult things look easy," he said on the club website.



Totti also wants Andreazzoli to remain in charge beyond the end of the season.



"Totti has said that if we continue like this he'd like me to continue as coach next season?" added the boss.



"The captain buying into it is very important, of course, but he's biased: he's my buddy."

Totti doubtful for Roma clash with Bologna

Francesco Totti could be a doubt for Roma's home fixture against Bologna at the Olympic Stadium this Sunday after suffering an ankle knock in training.



Roma said on their website www.asroma.it Thursday that Totti, who inspired his side to a 3-1 away win over Inter Milan two weeks ago, "withdrew from training early after bruising his ankle".



Although Zdenek Zeman's side are not considered as title contenders in Serie A, their display against Inter at the San Siro suggested they could be one of the surprise packages this season.



Argentine-born Italian Pablo Osvaldo has scored twice in two games so far and scored both goals in Italy's 2-2 draw against Bulgaria in a recent World Cup qualifier.



After two league games the Giallorossi sit fifth on four points having drawn at home to Catania on the opening day of the season.



Only four teams -- champions Juventus, Napoli, Lazio and Sampdoria -- have won both of the first two games so far.
